February.....

Ok, so for hopefully the last time I've re-learned that blogging and focussing and reviewing my small but sweet sessions are the keys to success. I'm pretty excited and motivated for the fresh start of February now.

Lessons learned, the plan is to play 4-5 short sessions per day... then, review them, play a game of FIFA or something, rinse, repeat. I'm definitely weaker in long sessions, I get both winners tilt when im 2k up and losers tilt when I'm $1k down. The start of every session is the time I'm most focussed, so without a good reason I'll be strictly doing < 1 hour sessions.

So, I think everything's in place to do a > $20k month. What I need is relentless focus on what matters....

Going to play session 1 now. What I need to avoid creeping in is RE spots, and I need to focus on timing, not rewarding the nit, and being creative wherever possible.

I need to remember the maxim of "don't reward the nit". Seriously, like, the first time SUFFER 3bets me in about 200 hands I should not be rewarding him with a flat call...

I get revenge fairly quickly.... gameflow-wise I'd been pretty quiet, so wasn't content to have AA the first time I 3bet him. I just felt like he's folding a ton of strong hands PF...
